I've officially been home for a week. I love New Jersey and my family aka the people I live with plus my friends. So far I've played hockey (sort of), beaten guitar hero on hard - go me, played kickball, gotten hit in the face with a kickball, swung on a swingset, went to the shore and walked on the super long jetti and almost touched The Green ( Read more... )
